SAVE SCHOOL

At St John The Baptist Elementary School, our mission is to promote the good news of Jesus Christ by developing Christian leadership through academic excellence, moral integrity, and personal responsibility.

Our schools are communities of faith with the Eucharist as their life-giving center.

Through the sacramental life and liturgical year, love of God and neighbor becomes a focal reality, transforming attitudes, actions and relationships.

We continually challenge our students and one another to participate in Christ's victory over sin and evil with lives of love, compassion, and observance of the law of God and our church.

Through witnessing our faith and working together, we call our students to recognize the love of God in their midst and to contribute their talents in service to others, especially those in need.
